Lorenzago di Cadore, a Piave basin below the Mauria pass

Lorenzago became known beyond the Cadore because two popes, John Paul II and Benedict XVI, spent summer holidays here. The village occupies a sunny basin in the upper Cadore, above the Piave valley, at almost nine hundred metres, on the road that climbs to the Mauria pass and on into Friuli.

Buying here means real mountain living: climate zone F, long snowy winters, and houses of masonry and timber with steep pitched roofs. Alongside residents there are many second homes, and the market moves between holiday flats and family houses. For the hospital and secondary schools, the reference points are the larger Cadore towns and Belluno. Pharmacies on the Ministry of Health lists come to 3.63 per 1,000 residents, against 0.38 in the province.

There were 551 residents in 2023, 16 fewer than in 2011, a modest fall of 2.8%. Over-65s make up 35.0%, against 28.1% in the province of Belluno, and the average age is 49.7. Foreign nationals are few, at 0.9%.

The province of Belluno has municipalities in three seismic zones: 7 in zone 1, 27 in zone 2 and 26 in zone 3. Lorenzago is in zone 2, with an expected acceleration of about 0.130 g. For a block of flats or a house built before recent standards, ask for the design date and any structural work.

Avalanches, landslides and mountain streams are the typical hazards here and they change from house to house: the report checks them on the official maps for the address. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps cover the municipality.
